Where does the time go?

I have no idea how it has been over a week since my last post. I have been doing a few things in that time but I'm sure I could have posted. Time just flies faster and faster the older I get.
Finally the raspberries are ripe! I buy my raspberries from a lady that grows them in her backyard. She picks them and puts them in pint baskets and calls me when they are ready. Aren't they beautiful?

I took all she had from her first picking. 35 pints.

I made 7 pints of Raspberry Jam and froze a LOT of the berries. I couldn't find anymore of my canning jars. Hubby says they are out in the shop so I will venture out there to see if I can find them. It is too hot to can anymore right now anyway so I will pull them out of the freezer on a cool fall day and make some more jam. The kids and I ate some of them fresh as well and I also made a simple syrup and froze them in ice cube trays to drop into our iced tea or lemonade!

Very early on Friday morning we left for the airport. It was so early in fact that I never went to bed! So by Friday night, when it was time for bed, I had been up since 8 a.m. Thursday morning. Let's just say I was TIRED! A quick trip to southern California to see these two be wed on Saturday.

The groom is the oldest nephew on my hubby's side of the family. It was a lovely ceremony, and since it was near water it was not unbearably hot. We stayed with a nephew on my side of the family, in Rancho Cucamonga. HOT! It did cool off to 80 degrees by midnight though. CRAZY!! We were back at the airport before noon on Sunday.

We're having some hot temperatures here and I'm so happy that the coolest room in the house is my sewing room. Or shall I call it a studio? Good excuse to sew right?

Praise - that all of our travels went smoothly and safely. That our time with family was peaceful and fun.

Prayers - for the newlyweds. That their honeymoon would be safe but more importantly that their marriage would be long and honoring to God.
